Default Exhaust Manifold.

I need a new exhaust manifold for my 95 xj. I was wondering what the best choice was?

It depends on your price range, im sure my banks header would kick the **** out of that cheapie. But is was over 500 bucks. Alot of guys on here love the cheap pacesetter. Post in the "all exhaust questions go here" thread for more responses.......

I think that the APN header is very reasonably priced and thats what makes it such a good value... Performs way better than stock and is still under 2 hundo

I think the 500 was worth it, its .1875 thick 304 stainless and it sounds amazing. I felt the extra torque it gave me right away.

It is your DD right? I guess if it sees enough action you could justify it but idk if i could lol Did you upgrade yours or did the stock one break?

Depends how much money you have and what you want to drop the cash on. Me, i would rather spend $200 on a header and spend the extra $300 on a lunchbox locker. And was the extra $300 worth the little bit of extra torque you got?

Dont forget that most of these guys cant/wont install their own locker. So 300 for a lunchbox and another up to 300 for install depending on where u live. 300 was worth the combo of torque and sweet *** sound I got out of it. But I also have a magnaflo oval muffler for "off-road use only" lol.
